Yes I'm very excited to see their outcome. I understand Lars is coming along in mixed doubles play...is that correct?

But who decided Jens is to only play in MD? Is it a tournament rule that you can only play in one event? Or was it a national team or coach decision? Or is Jens being moved to exclusively MD like JR was?

Hope you don't mind all the questions...

Hi Cory, I'm sorry, I don't know who decided that Jens only can play MD, but I guess it's the tournament rule! If you've got any questions, just ask, but I'm not sure if I can answer them all hehe

Keep in mind that this is the Copenhagen Masters. It's "for fun" (or some money), not for ranking points. It could well be that Jens just decided to take it easy this year. It's between X-mas and New Year, after all -- time that most people like to spend with their families.

If they were really looking to evaluate new pairings, they wouldn't choose the Copenhagen Masters. Performance there just isn't good enough an indicator.

As far as I renember they use the old 3*15 scoring system. None of the danish shuttlers prefers this new scoring system. Kenneth Jonassen said after World Cup that with the new scoring system people began to play more safely not risking that much, which resulted in that trickshots and taking some chances wasnt used by the players anymore. As I see it it didnt work with table tennis so why use it in badminton. If anything are to be used 5*9 is the only thing that can replace the 3*15...

Sounds great!! Seems like a trip to Denmark is coming up then

I agree that 5x9 (not rally-scoring of course ) would seem like something that could actually work! (Or maybe even 5x11 ).. But I still tink it's a waste of time and energy to try to fix something that aint broken..

I have yet to see a good explanation why 15x3 is no good and thus need to be changed. If the problem is Getting time for advertisment.. Lets try to focus on that.. maybe scheduled commercial breaks for drink, toweling etc. Instead of missplaced focus on scoring..

I am sad this energy isn't used to more promotional activited and marketing of competetive badminton instead..

Thanks Mag, hehehe I feel so excited that I can meet Bao and Cai/Fu! It's a shame you can't come...

Hi Yannie! since you could met Cai Yun, would mind to take some photo of him not playing in court well, I'm fans of him but never get chance to meet him also Xie Zhong Bo if you could...ok ? Actually I really admire Cai cause he never frustation even he/Fu lost the match .In Indonesia only Semifinal-Final show on TV , so if Cai/Fu reach semifinal-final I could watch their performence, I hope so... Thanks anyway
